Is that really true anymore? If I roll by one of the local breweries, they'll have an IPA of course, but sours and saisons seem to be in a bit of renaissance right now. Hell, half the IPAs I see now are New England IPAs that barely budge the bitterness scale.
- jallmann 9y agoMaybe so, but sours/saisons are also much more forgiving to brew than lagers or even IPAs. Any hint of contamination in a lager is immediately noticeable. On the other hand, sour brewers have turned what would normally be flush-worthy batches into "limited releases" characterized by barnyard funk.
- mathattack 9y agoMy problem with sours isn’t they all taste like barnyard funk to me. I’d go for hops overload every night if it weren’t for the next morning...
